View Full Version : KING TELLS TRINIDAD: "We're fighting Winky Wright on March 19!"
kborges 12-21-2004, 09:57 AM Despite several conflicting reports floating around the press regarding Felix Trinidad's next fight, **********.com was able to get the real deal regarding the Puerto Rican superstar's next move. Trinidad was originally scheduled to fight on March 12, but Madison Square Garden already had a concert scheduled that day, so March 19 became the working date. Just minutes ago, Felix Trinidad Sr. told **********.com that Team Trinidad gave Don King until last weekend to make a fight for March 19, when Sunday came and went, Trinidad Sr. told a Puerto Rican newspaper that Trinidad would be fighting in April or May. Last night, sources indicated to BT that DKP may have reached an agreement to stage Trinidad-Wright on March 19. We contacted Don Felix Trinidad Sr, who confirmed the information stating "I just got off the phone with our attorney Nicolas Medina, and he told me that Don King said he made the deal. Even though he's a day later, we have no problem. Tito Trinidad is going to be fighting Winky Wright on March 19," said Trinidad's father, manager and trainer.

germanys_hope 12-21-2004, 10:16 AM Don Kings is worried about Felix Sturm!!!
He is too dangerous for USA. With him you cant make money. See Hopkins or the "De La Hoya scandal". Give him a chance to get back his belt!!!

yeah......that's what it is.Uh-huh...fear of the great Felix Sturm.
Trinidad-Wright is a fantastic matchup....one that will have places like this all buzzed as it approaches.

What's with these guys who show up at a forum and immediately start talking smack about everyone but their favourite fighter? It's not even relevant to the thread. Tito was never gonna fight Sturm, man.
Bombardier 12-21-2004, 10:23 AM This fight would be awesome. I think Wright's a little overrated...like Tarver, he beat a guy with a big name who was already on his way down. His style could give Tito some trouble, but I believe the man is on a mission this time and will take him down early.

What would Sturm do run all night? This is good news for Sturm if you ask me.
Winky will give Tito some problems but there probably isn't too many fighters out there today who can stand in front of Tito and not lose. Winky will not be one of them. Tito by decision or if Winky gets brave Tito by late stoppage.
germanys_hope 12-21-2004, 10:32 AM The title fights in US mostely are US Championships. But a few fighters are very bad. See Glen Johnson out of Jamaica. Now he is the best light-weight in the world? Oh my god see his fighting record. He loss against Ottke and some other middleweight. This fights are only for money and that is no sports. Trinidad will win, because everyone is hoping for a rematch Trinidad/Hopkins. That means: money,money,money. And when i see this Don King UHHHHH!

Okay, so what are your precious Europeans fighting for, sauerkraut?
By the way, Glen Johnson's American, dude. He has Jamaican ancestry and he keeps the accent to honour that.
bigdlb12 12-21-2004, 10:39 AM Sturm doesnt want any of Trinidad, hell he gave much respect to DLH's power in their fight, Sturm was bigger,stronger, the bigger man all around and still he let DLH do what he did in the ring. It was a close fight and could have been a draw of gone either way give or take 1 point

Tito will win because he will knock Sturm out. Speaking of Ottke I hear that alot of his decisions were a bit shady.
germanys_hope 12-21-2004, 10:50 AM Tito will win because he will knock Sturm out. Speaking of Ottke I hear that alot of his decisions were a bit shady.
Ottke was not a big hitter 22-0 (8 KO`s) . But he was perfect in disciplins like condition, technic, speed and tactics.
Ask Byron Mitchell, he hadn`t hit Ottke one time. I think the best Super-Middle of all time (expect Michaelcewski 49-1)

I just heard that alot of his decisions were shady but I really wouldn't know because I have never seen him fight.

Darius M. was not a supermiddleweight.

are you saying sven ottke is the best smw of all time?
heres my hysterical laughter in advance
hahahah muhhaha buhhhhahahaha
if it wasnt so much of a joke id produce a list of
20 guys better than ottke at that weight
bpapa420 12-21-2004, 11:32 AM I think this is a great fight. I really dont want to see a good fighter like strum get thrown to the dogs so early. Tito vs Winky is a big ? as to what tito can really do. I really hope this fight happens.

LOL i forgot to sat something about the fight lol..
great news..think tito will do it but defo not ruling
wright out..his career defining fight imo
trephination 12-21-2004, 12:08 PM Sturm has no chance fighting Tito. Wright has a small chance But I highly doubt he could deal with Tito's power
borikua 12-21-2004, 12:20 PM Sturm already said that he wants another fight before taking a fight with Tito...Winky-Tito would be a good match... :cool:

Um no Glen Johnson was born in Jamaica!
this is from his bio at his website!
Glen “The Gentleman” Johnson, also known as Glencoffe Johnson, was born in Clarendon, Jamaica, on January 2, 1969. Johnson was not a big boxing fan growing up in Jamaica as he admits ",The only fighter I knew about was Muhammad Ali."
Boxer2005 12-21-2004, 01:49 PM Cant wait to see this fight...
Great 12-21-2004, 01:51 PM Really? Goooooood news, guys.

this is a good tuneup for trinidad. i,m happy to see winky making money. ottke.... give me a break. many boxers got robbed fighting him in germany. i've always considered him second tier.always wished he'd come over state side and fight real contenders just to see his boring lackey ass get wooped.
tito-winky
march 19th!!!!
thats gonna be my bachelor party!!!! can't wait until tix go on sale!!!!!
amaru 12-21-2004, 02:51 PM tito vs wright will be a good fight, i dont think tito will have an easy night but i still see him winning this fight.

Yes, but he moved to the States when he was a kid and he had been based there ever since. I just figured the guy who posted about that originally seemed ignorant enough to think that Glen Johnson must still live in Jamaica because he had the accent.
Hurlex 12-21-2004, 02:53 PM yeah leave sturm alone,he said he want one more fight before going to tito/hopkins...he may fight the winner of the rematch who knows...atleast sturm fights often so he will be ready soon.
horay...winkyy getting KTFO...lol :cool:
goodtimes...this is gonna be a ppv right...dammit lol...wrestlemania is that same month (yeah i watch wrestling so what lol)...anyway..it better have a goodunderscard....hmm it might even have mayorga on the undercard...don said his return was gonna be in spring...maybe *shrug*
Saint3605 12-22-2004, 02:19 AM Trinidad is going to knock Wright out, He would have knocked Sturm out, and if he fights Hopkins again, He will be Knocked out again
Actually i was hoping that if tito would fight winky, that he would fight taylor. Taylor should stay away from tito for couple more years though.
ejk22 12-22-2004, 06:30 PM Look's like the undercard will be Golota vs Brewster. Should be interesting.

No, because I don't want to see Trinidad waste his time knocking out another fighter the product of european hype. I was fooled on Dorin and Wladmir, last time I get tricked.
mic573 12-22-2004, 10:10 PM On ********** Winky says the fight is far from being finalized and that Don King is just playing games telling the Trinidads what they want to hear.
MlLkMan 12-22-2004, 10:12 PM I wanna see this happen.
